The Sims 4 nectar making skill
The Sims 4 nectar making skill allows you to take produce from the Horse Ranch and turn it into nectar for your Sims to sell or drink.

Both the nectar maker and fruit racks cost $350, so make sure you have some money in the bank before buying. You also need fruit and nectar racks for aging, which come with the nectar maker but cost $250 each.
Which fruit makes the most nectar?
Produce that you can grow on a horse ranch is ideal for making nectar. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t use other fruit. In fact, grapes and strawberries offer the best profit-to-cost ratio, as you can harvest them in bulk compared to other fruit.
It takes about one Sim hour to make a bottle of nectar, with occasional machine cleaning required. Even though you don’t have to do it as often as Sims make juice, it’s still quite a lengthy process. Gardening is always beneficial to level alongside nectar making, as you can grow your own produce for more profit.
If you’re starting completely from scratch, a greenhouse filled with strawberries and grapes is enough to complete the aspiration. You can also harvest prairie grass, which can be used as an ingredient for nectar.
